Depression treatment patterns among adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and depression.
Article in Current medical research and opinion, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo estimate rates and patterns of depression treatment among adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and depression.
methodsWe used a retrospective, cross-sectional study design, pooling data from 2010 and 2012 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS). The study sample consisted of 527 individuals aged 21 years or older, diagnosed with COPD and depression. Depression treatment was grouped into three categories based on those who received: (1) neither antidepressant nor psychotherapy; (2) antidepressants only; and (3) psychotherapy combined with antidepressants (combination therapy). We conducted chi-squared tests and multinomial logistic regressions to examine factors (demographic, socio-economic characteristics, healthcare access, health status, and personal health practices) associated with depression treatment among adults with COPD and depression. KEY
findingsThe mean age of the study sample was 55.96 years (SD = 13.36). Overall, 18.8% of the sample adults did not report any use of antidepressants or psychotherapy, 58.3% reported antidepressants use only and 23% reported using combination therapy. Females (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 1.89, 95% CI = 1.02, 3.55), older adults (≥65 years: AOR = 3.69, 95% CI = 1.62, 8.41), adults with fair/poor physical health status (AOR = 3.32, 95% CI = 1.29, 8.56) and those suffering from anxiety (AOR = 1.94, 95% CI = 1.09, 3.46) were more likely to receive antidepressant treatment. Older adults (AOR =2.94, 95% CI = 1.05, 8.22), those who were never married (AOR = 3.17, 95% CI = 1.18, 8.56), suffered from anxiety (AOR =6.01, 95% CI = 3.11, 11.61) and current smokers (AOR = 2.29, 95% CI = 1.05, 4.98) were more likely to receive combination therapy. Whereas, adults who were uninsured (AOR = 0.21, 95% CI = 0.05, 0.86) and did not lacked regular physical activity (AOR = 0.33, 95% CI = 0.16, 0.67) were less likely to receive combination therapy. A key limitation of our study is that we could not control for the severity of depression or COPD which may have influenced depression treatment.
conclusionEfforts to improve depression care among adults with co-occurring COPD and depression may need to be tailored for different subgroups.
